Gray Glamour

I'm looking to these lovely ladies for a reminder that gray does not need to be dreary. Gray outerwear is a timeless basic while a gray cardigan dresses down a sparkly dress for daytime. Which look is your favorite?

Pour Les Hommes

{Tommy Smythe}
In my ongoing quest to seek out decorating tips for men (see here and here), I've noticed an abundance of boudoirs with charcoal walls. Paired with gold accessories or leather accents, the color appeals to both sexes in ways that few others do. Could you cope with a gray bedroom? I think it would be the ultimate in cozy chic!

Royal Blue

Royal blue is flattering on every skin tone and a festive alternative to your run-of-the-mill LBD. Keep it classy in a cocktail dress that hits just above the knee à la Camilla Belle or go for all-out glamour in a floor-length number like Kristen Bell or Demi Moore's. Why not try out this unexpected hue for your next holiday fête? 

Gather 'Round The Fire

Baby, it's cold outside! It's the perfect weather to curl up by the fireplace with a warm latté and a good book. Add a cozy throw and a little snowfall and you'll be in the holiday spirit in no time at all!

Down To There

If you've got it, flaunt it! These down-to-there necklines are surprisingly chic paired with modest hemlines and simple accessories. Just be sure to remember your double-stick tape!

Hot And Cold

How pretty are these cool gray walls paired with warm pinks and reds? It's an unexpected combination that works wonders in libraries and living rooms alike. Add in some bright white upholstery and a sparkly chandelier and I could move right in!

Shimmery Chic

Is your current wardrobe looking a little less than glamorous these days? (Mine is.) Look no further than these leading ladies for your next closet update. Why not pick up a sparkly blazer or a shimmery skirt? Whether you're rocking a ball gown or a blouse, sequins are a quick fix for outfits that need that extra something. Let it shine, ladies!


P.S. I'm going to try my hand at blogging twice a day. Check back at one o'clock for an interiors post!

The Cold Shoulder

Asymmetrical black dresses are everywhere right now. Do you prefer Kate Moss' glamorous take or Gwyneth Paltrow's more laid-back vibe?

Erin Rocks My World

I just ordered these fabulous Jeffrey Campbell flats off of Shopbop. Surely they're worth the full $130, but the icing on the cake is that they were just $30 thanks to the generous gift certificate that I won on Apartment #34! Expanding my shoe collection? Just one more reason to love Erin and her gorgeous blog. You simply must stop by and say hello. Merci beaucoup, mon amie!

The Clutch in Natural

Vintage RUST BROWN Large Doctor Bag
I've been noticing a leather-loving trend in my Etsy favorites lately: the perfectly simple eyeglass case, a chic linen clutch, and a fabulous travel bag — all done up in rich tan leather. Parfait!

White Walls, Black Accents

I love these light and bright spaces offset by dark accent walls. Peppered with rows and rows of books, the look oozes with effortless sophistication that's delightfully gender neutral.

P.S. This is my 300th post! Here's to many, many more :)

Jump On It

These black jumpsuits are the epitome of effortless modern chic. Wear yours with a scarf à la Kate Hudson or better yet paired with a leopard shoe like Diane Kruger. To die for!
